Longer term clients' feedback (given directly to me, not anonymously with permission to publish)

"Karolle offers a safe, supportive and encouraging environment in which to deeply explore issues that require attention, resolution or change. Karolle has helped me feel accepted, valued and loved at all stages of my personal journey, even at the lowest most difficult and frightening times. I am eternally grateful for the healing her relationship with me has provided. Karolle has assisted me in making an incredible transformation."

"Karolle was recommended to me after many years of dealing with an anxiety issue, and she saved my life. From my very first session I felt a comfortable connection. Karolle maintained a supportive environment within which I felt safe to explore deep emotional issues underlying my anxiety.

With her compassionate, kind, calm and understanding manner Karolle gently and skillfully guided me on a journey of self discovery assisting me to deal with my issues.

I consider myself very fortunate for the experience I have had working with Karolle and I would wholeheartedly recommend her services to anyone who is considering seeing a psychologist. "

"I came to you as one of those patients most people would refuse to see. Too many problems, too hard, too complex. Child abuse, rape, marital abuse, abuse in hospital. Abuse upon abuse upon abuse. But you did not see the problems - you saw a person. You saw through all the problems to a person who was infinitely valuable. You carried the hope for me when I had none. From day 1, you treated me as an equal...you cared about what mattered to me. You were always professional."
